Viewing Creating Abstraction

Head over to Pace’s recently opened Hanover Square Gallery to see an exhibition of works by seven female artists whose experimental approach to material and engagement with Modernism pushed the boundaries of abstraction.

You’ll encounter paintings, textiles, works on paper, video, photography and installations by such celebrated names as Barbara Hepworth, Yto Barrada and Louise Nevelson. Also worthy of note are the modular sculptures of Saloua Raouda Choucair, a pioneer of abstract art in Lebanon; and the graphic works of Italian artist Carla Accardi, which explore the formal and spatial effect of line, shape and gesture.

By including works by 20th- century and contemporary artists this exhibition shows Modernism’s enduring legacy and the ways in which various Modernist movements have been disseminated and interpreted by artists around the world. It offers a chance to discover each artist’s ground-breaking work and the broader context of their practice.
